Fed when you are not hungry, how can you enjoy
your birthright of possessing
an appetite?
Born into Life among people
who rush at you with answers
before you have even realized
that you have questions,
How will you come to Understanding?
Do not let them off the hook too easily
by assuming that they in any majority
mean you well. They clamor for your validation
because they are afraid
of the questions that Silence
raises
And they need you to raise your new voice
to block a new breach in the wall
they build against it.
If they harangue you
loudly and long enough, they believe,
you will not discover
That you are that breach.
